Savella was the most recent drug to be approved for FMS. It is another type combo Antidepressant. I had a very bad reaction to it that made me feel like I was flaring for one month. My Rheum said it was the drug so I just d/c it.
Also, my Rheumatologist mentioned that Tapentadol ER (extended release) manufactured by Ortho-McNeil will be available next month. He feels it will be a good drug for FMS. It is a Oxycodone-type narcotic mixed with a Norepinepheran reuptake. Dosage is two pills a day which is probably cleaner than taking multiple dosages of Loratab and daily Welbutrin. Nothing really new and wonderful though...  Mere |
